My All
Da Professor Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I am thinking of you
In my sleepless solitude tonight
If it's wrong to love you
Then my heart just won't let me be right
'Cause I've drowned in you
And I won't pull through
Without you by my side

I'd give my all to have
Just one more night with you
I'd risk my life to feel
Your body next to mine
'Cause I can't go on
Living in the memory of our song
I'd give my all for your love tonight

Baby can you feel me
Imagining I'm looking in your eyes
I can see you clearly
Vividly emblazoned in my mind
And yet you're so far
Like a distant star
I'm wishing on tonight

I'd give my all to have
Just one more night with you
I'd risk my life to feel
Your body next to mine
'Cause I can't go on
Living in the memory of our song
I'd give my all for your love tonight

I'd give my all to have
Just one more night with you
I'd risk my life to feel
Your body next to mine
'Cause I can't go on
Living in the memory of our song
I'd give my all for your love tonight

(I'd) give my all for your love
Tonight

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "My All" by Da Professor mainly speak about the intense longing and desire for someone who is not present. The singer confesses that he is unable to stop thinking about this person even during his sleepless nights, and his heart cannot resist the love for them. He has given his all and has already drowned in the person's love, and can't imagine living without them. The chorus emphasizes this idea - he would risk anything and give his all to spend one more night with them, to feel their body next to him, and to move past the memories of the past. The overall emotion of the song is one of passion, desolation, and devotion.

Interestingly, the lyrics also use vivid imagery to bring the idea of separation to life. The singer likens his love to a "distant star" and is "wishing on tonight," implying the hopelessness of his situation. Additionally, the words "vividly emblazoned in my mind" provide the impression of a memory that is still sharp, a feeling that has not blurred with time. The last phrase of the song also leaves room for thought; "give my all for your love tonight" carries a sense of urgency, giving the impression that the singer is near breaking point.

Line by Line Meaning

I am thinking of you
I am constantly consumed by thoughts of you

In my sleepless solitude tonight
I can't sleep because I'm alone without you

If it's wrong to love you
Even if it's not the right thing to do, I can't stop loving you

Then my heart just won't let me be right
My heart keeps pulling me towards you, even if it's not sensible

'Cause I've drowned in you
You have fully consumed me

And I won't pull through
I won't survive without you

Without you by my side
I need you to be with me always

I'd give my all to have
I'd do anything to have

Just one more night with you
To be with you for even one more night

I'd risk my life to feel
I'd do anything, even put my life in danger, to experience

Your body next to mine
The feeling of us being close physically

'Cause I can't go on
I can't continue living

Living in the memory of our song
Being consumed by the memories of us and our relationship

I'd give my all for your love tonight
I'm prepared to do anything for the chance to be with you

Baby can you feel me
Can you sense my presence

Imagining I'm looking in your eyes
Picturing your eyes in my mind's eye as if we were face to face

I can see you clearly
I remember every detail of you and our time together

Vividly emblazoned in my mind
Burned into my memory and impossible to forget

And yet you're so far
Despite my memories of you, you're still physically distant

Like a distant star
Too far away from me to reach

I'm wishing on tonight
I'm making a wish for us to be together again

(I'd) give my all for your love
I'm ready to give everything I have for the chance to be with you

Tonight
Right at this moment
